Space Station Manager

This game is still available for purchase...wow, do not buy this game there is no remake, there is no development, its been almost 2 years since we were promised a remake and an alpha version soon to follow in early/1st part of 2022, id say its safe to say the game is dead. The current build has absolutely nothing to offer except for some very pretty desktop quality skybox art. Purchase at your own peril. Best thing you can do with this game is rotate your camera just right and hold the Shift+Windows+S key and get a high quality .png you can set as a background for your desktop. 13 hours of my 14 total came from the original developer that had more functional game play available. the remaining 1 hour was after the dec 24 2021 experimental branch remake where the new dev deleted just about everything that worked and abandoned the game, before the remakegate took place you could actually get ships to come to your stations/hotels and you could see them, now you cant do that and even if you could you cant actually see them they were deleted with all the other cookies in the cookie jar 5 months later.....nothing, i read one of the devs responses in the dec 2021 update and he said that if he dont finish this game then he dies. I think the dev may have died, R.I.P my guy

Don't buy this, it's abandonware, they have stopped working with it.

This game had a lot of promise and the gameplay mechanics were enjoyable. It had much to show, but was left for dead by its developer.

This game is a good premise, but way way way underdeveloped. There are spelling mistakes everywhere. There is no tutorial. The "grind" is simply waiting for money or research points (there is nothing to do while you are waiting and you can't speed it up). I purchased it on sale for less than $2, If I were you I'd spend no more for it without evidence that it has had serious development since this comment.

Avoid it as if it was the black plague. Yes, I'm being overdramatic, but bear with me. Back in November 2021, I asked on the forum if the game was still in development. At that time, it had been almost one year since the game had received an update. It had been months since the devs had made any announcement, and also months since someone had asked something on the forum, and they hadn't received any answer. Fortunately for me, my question was answered, they were working on a new version of the game that was to be shipped near the end of 2021. And they did ship it near the end of 2021. I mean, they released an experimental version with an empty husk where you cannot do anything at all. I felt stupid for yet again wasting my money on a dead project. And put a negative review. Somehow the devs convinced me I had to be patient they were still working on adding content. So, let's summarize things now. in the span of one year, the game has only received 1, and only 1 "update" that actually removes 99% of the game content. But, it's only 'experimental', so, not a real update? Then, let's make things better, in the span of one year, the game didn't receive any update at all. The forum is dead, there is close to 0 gameplay, and while solar gene which has much more depth receive regular updates, here, you'll grow old and your great-grandchildren will be playing star citizen before you see a meaningful update. And no, this time, I won't remove my negative review. Guys, you either need to release something at some point or at least communicate what you are working on and what progress you are making. 0 communication and 0 content release are not how you treat an Early Access game.

Steep learning curve with minimal explanation as to what any of the display elements refer to.

Avoid till new updates come. Im not sure if this has been abandoned. While not uncommon, its usually a bad sign when there's a full game remake then no updates for half a year+ Would be nice to know what i bought. The current content is shallow but easily understood. I wont say its intuitive however. Its very basic and that's fine. I would happily suggest it if the developers kept us posted on steam about whats going on.

Eigentlich fing es ganz gut an. Ein kleines Indie-Spiel, netter Entwickler, schönes Spielkonzept. Dann immer wieder längere Pausen zwischen Updates, bis ein Rework des ganzen Spiels angekündigt wurde. Als Entwickler kenne ich diese Situation. Damit schnell etwas zu sehen ist, wird prototypisch losgelegt und nach einiger Zeit wird es zu unübersichtlich. Damit komme ich noch klar. Die neue Version kam als Beta raus und alles schien gut zu sein. Dann gab es wieder Funkstille. Im Steam-Forum stellt sich dann heraus, dass der Entwickler sich wohl zu viel zugemutet hat und gibt auch noch finanzielle Probleme zu. Soweit, so gut, kann vorkommen. Aber ein zweites Spiel anzukündigen, um schnell einen finanziellen Schub zu erhalten mit dem wagen Versprechen, sich irgendwann wieder mit Space Station Manager zu beschäftigen ... Da hört für mich das Verständnis auf. Man kann kein Produkt verkaufen und es in so einem frühen Stadium liegen lassen, weil es nicht mehr genug einbringt und sich statt dessen mit etwas Anderem beschäftigen (von dem auch nichts zu sehen oder zu lesen gibt). Nette Tech-Demo, die Geld kostet. Schade drum.

DO NOT BUY, not worth it. Likely been abandoned, cool concept but very bare bones as is. Got it on sale for $1.20 and still wouldn't buy again. Maybe worth it if new life is breathed into it.

Fairly entertaining.
